Amazing Results

WORTH IT
I was referred to Dr Pham by a woman on FB in my BII group and couldn’t be happier.
I just learned of BII in August bc I saw Danica Patrick’s video about Her myriad of symptoms and how they were resolved by Explant earlier this Spring.
I had 225 cc saline, over the muscle Mentor smooth implants which prior to 2020 had never given me an issue for 28.5 years.
In lockdown though my R one ruptured and became painful as it formed a capsular contracture.
I started getting BII symptoms soon after and not knowing why I was feeling poorly attributed them to a prior illness I was getting over called iatrogenic Cushing’s.
However once I saw Danica’s video I knew I needed to Explant ASAP.
I also hoped I could have them removed the way Danica’s had been (via the original areola scars) as my implants were on the small side.
Dr Pham assured me he could do so and remove everything en block which I requested and also be shown pics and videos afterwards to make sure.
He was a compassionate and on the day of surgery proved to be an amazing artist.
I am 60 years old and my results have far exceeded my expectations.
This is me 18 days post op and I couldn’t be happier.

How much did the explant cost?
April 2, 2023
It was $4250 in Oct of 2022
Bc I only had 220 cc saline implants that were above the muscle they were easily explanted via my original half moon scars beneath each areola (the same way they went in 30 years earlier)
I also did not need a lift so the only stitches were the few to stitch back up the underside of each areola after the implants were removed.
Bc the entire operating room time was under 2 hours I believe that’s why the surgery was so affordable.

Also I never nursed and only gained 5-10 lbs over the 30 years I had them.
That being said, had I needed one I totally would have had Dr Pham do the procedure.
I told him I wanted to wait and see what I was “left” with and he at first thought I perhaps would need one but at my one month post op visit he said it wasn’t necessary.
